يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْرًا مِنْهُمْ

Believers, do not let one group mock another, for they may well be better than themselves.

وَلَا نِسَاءٌ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِنْهُنَّ

Do not let women mock other women, for they may be better than themselves.

وَلَا تَلْمِزُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقَابِ

Do not slander one another or call each other by offensive nicknames.

بِئْسَ الِاسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ

How evil it is to be called a sinner after having accepted faith.

وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتُبْ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ.

Those who do not repent are the true wrongdoers.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ

Believers, avoid excessive suspicion, for some suspicion is a sin.

وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَبْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا

Do not spy on one another, and do not backbite.

أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ

Would any of you like to eat the flesh of your dead brother? You would surely detest it.

وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَحِيمٌ.

Be mindful of God, for He is ever-relenting and merciful.
